Description

I've owned this wonderful drawing of Desperate Desmond by Harry Hershfield for decades, but forgot to put it up in my CAF gallery. The strip ran from 1910 to 1912, so I figure a circa 1911 is about right. If that's not correct, well, koises.

Question: How did people obtain drawings like this back then?  Were there actual fan letters that artists replied back with drawings?

Marcus, absolutely.  I have many specialty drawings like this, and sometimes the cartoonists would do a drawing on the back of the recipient's letter or postcard.  One famous collection was put together by Gladys Clements, who wrote to cartoonists and illustrators for decades, amassing an incredible collection.  I have a binder with photocopies of all the pieces fromt he collection.
